Chapter 1088


    When he heard this, warmth filled Fane''s heart. "Don''t worry. I''ll help to treat your condition," he said,


    smiling. "Now I’m suspecting that it was Lily who administered the poison. She already sent assassins


    after me in Middle Province.


    Who''s to say that she won''t do something like this!"


    “Ah. She sent assassins after you, and the Ninth Patronum—who are in a good rtionship with the


    Third Elder and the others—was waiting to kill you at the entrance. Furthermore, she joined hands with


    the Third Elder to take some of the martial art resources for themselves by raising the tithe. They’ve


    made their linkage clear before us!"


    Fane released a sigh. "I''d be a fool to not


    believe it even after all this!” he said impatiently.


    "What should we do now, Father? I think it’ll be difficult. After all, the Third Elder is a powerful chi


    practitioner. The only one who can probably match him now is the First Elder! That''s why we have no


    way of weeding them out.


    "And Lily is no slouch either. More importantly, she''s the first daughter of the Lagorio family. We’ll


    thoroughly ruin our rtions with the Lagorio family if we kill her. The Lagorio family has fallen, but


    they''re not weak. If we get into a war, there are a few elders from the Lagorio family here that might


    side with them. So.."


    Fane frowned when he considered the situation. He truly felt that there was no easy way to go about


    this.


    If they truly fought, there were plenty of servants from the Lagorio family in the Woods family who might


    take their original family''s side. Even if the Woods family emerged victorious from the feud, both sides


    would take grave blows.


    Besides, it had not been easy for the Woods family to have grown so strong—to finally stand among


    the Eight Reclusive Families. I f they entered a familial war, they would probably drop quite a few ranks


    in standing, putting all of their previous effort to waste.

    Fane nodded his head in approval after he heard this. "You''re truly an intelligent man. You’ve


    understood the situation immediately. Ah, it would probably be better if I were healthy! Honestly, I''m not


    afraid of killing the Third Elder and Lily— and I''m certainly not afraid of the Woods family losing their


    reputation and strength. If Lily and the others have already done such deeds, it means that they''re


    eager to see us fight the Lagorio family. But I''m afraid that we''ll fight against the branch families!"


    Fane never thought that Nash would be able to look at the bigger picture while holding his pain in. It


    made Fane reevaluate his character.


    It must have not been easy for this man to be the master of the Woods family—to be able to


    guide the family, step by step, until they reached where they were now, and to make difficult choices


    from time to time.


    More importantly, the members of the branch families, as well as the forces attached to the Woods


    family, totaled to about six or seventy percent. Reаd at NovelDrama.Org


    Fane went silent for a while before continuing, "Or we could hold a meeting to have the responsibility of


    receiving and making records of the tithes to someone else! What do you think?"
